Common Riphah Merit Mistakes
- Using one formula for every programme. Riphah’s weightage changes by programme, from 70% academics (Pharm-D) to 70% test (BBA).
- Entering MDCAT as a percentage. The calculator expects marks out of 200 for MBBS and BDS.
- Ignoring the interview. Engineering, allied health, English and Public Administration count the interview directly.
- Checking the wrong campus. Faisalabad, Sahiwal, Peshawar and Gujranwala campuses have their own websites.
